THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE

Before the ribbon-cutting, John Erickson, founder and CEO of Erickson Retirement Communities, said that Tallgrass Creek exemplifies what the company’s 24 years of experience have created in now 18 communities across ten states: a safe, maintenance-free retirement lifestyle that promotes wellness of mind, body, and spirit.

He also emphasized the medical benefits of life at Erickson communities, saying, “If you give people a better lifestyle—staying active, engaged mentally, and they’re not doing things like shoveling ice and snow—they stay out of the hospital. We want to be the very best at providing a better quality of aging in America.

“And we’ve proven how much better we can make life for individuals.”
